PREFACE

To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the washing

machine, do not install it in place where it is damp and where

it suffers from rainfall.

Do not install the washing machine in place where it suffers

from the sun directly, in which plastic or components will be

damaged. It will be shortened the life of your washing machine.

Do not install the washing machine in place where temperatures

below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The

reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at

temperatures below freezing point.

Do not shoot the washing machine with water when you clean it.

Keep the washing machine away from fire or heat sources.

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the transit bolts

at the rear of the machine have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts which is still in place

may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is

no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way

into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. drum),

which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

Do not wash water-repellent things(e.g. raincoats) with washing machine.

Only remove laundry from the washing machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching

into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.

Correct use

Safety with children

Keep children away from the washing machine at all times. To avoid

the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to

play with its controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.

Older children may only use the washing machine if its operation has

been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole glass

will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children

touch it.

THIS WASHING MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED.

Before setting the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage.

Do not install or use a damaged washing machine .

Before connceting the washing machine, ensure that the connection data on the

plate(voltage and current)match the electricity supply. if in any doubt,

consult a qualifiled electrician.

The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be

guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective

earthing system which complies with current local and national

safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety

requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any

doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a

qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the

consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which manufacturer can not

accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by an approved service technician.

Ensure current is not supplied to the machine until after maintenance of repair work has been carried

out.

If the connection cable is damaged or broken, it must only be replaced by an approved service

technician to protect the user from danger.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine manufacturer original spare parts. Only

when these parts are fitted the saftey standards of the machine can be guaranteed.

Do not connect the washing machine to the mains electricity supply

by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Installation

Use process

Installation

Installation place requirement

A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface

for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration

during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or carpeted

surface.

The machine must be level and securely positioned. The

distance between the machine and wall must be more than

10 cm .

To avoid vibrations during spinning. the machine should not

be installed on soft floor coverings.

Level adjustment

The machine must stand perfectly level on all

four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.

Incorrect installation may increase electricity

and water consumption and may cause the

machine to move about.

To do these when the machine is not level:

Using the spanner turn locknut in a anticlockwise

direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjust

feet to unscrew.

Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.

Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again

using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.

Locknuts

Adjustable feet

Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do

not sit firmly up against the houses.

Drain hose connection

1.Direct into a sink

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug

that may be in place.

If required,the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required,

ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink

entering the washing machine.

2. Connected securely to a standpipe

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece

supplied.

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately

30mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top fo the standpipe is no more than 90cm and

no less than 60cm above floor level.

Water inlet connection

Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use previously employed hoses.

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations ‘ requirements.

When there is a inlet valve at the back of the machine, it must be connected to a cold water

supply. If there are two inlet valve, one is connected to a cold water supply and the other

is connected to a hot water supply. Follow the indication of the picture below to complete the

connection.

How to use washer

Use process

1. Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a

textile care label in the collar or side seam.

2. Make sure all the pockets are empty, Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,

paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in

the machine.

3. Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.

4. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately

several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites

and coloureds separately.

5. Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be pre-treated with liquid detergent,

stain removers etc.

6. Turn over the clothes which pill easily and is with woolen surface before

putting them into the machine.

Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better

wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of

energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes

creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no garments are caught between the

door and the seal.

It can remove the water which is left in the tub because of manufacturer’s checking out.

Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.

To do these:

1.Connect the power and turn on the tap.

2.Turn the knob to position “Standard”.

3.Press “Start/Pause”.

Washing preparation

1.Connect the inlet hoses well and turn on the tap.

The machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable

during the spin. To protect the machine, it will cut in if the laundry is not evenly distributed

in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen

several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after

15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin.

In this case, redistributed the load manually and reselect the spin programme.

Important:

Do not try to open the door when the washing cycle is not finished or power supply is cut off

during the washing cycle, because the temperature may be high and you may be scalded.
